Posted .Hi NicolasC,
Thanks for the 5-star review! We're so happy to hear you're enjoying the magnificent sound quality of the Sony - WH1000XM5. We also appreciate your feedback on the volume; for a more personalized sound, you may want to explore the equalizer settings in the Sony | Headphones Connect app. It allows you to customize the sound profile to your liking, which might help you get a little more out of them.
Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards,

Best Pair of Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Truly the best pair of headphones I've ever owned. The audio quality is incredible and the call quality is quite impressive too according to my colleagues who've noticed. I love the feature that connects to multiple devices and is able to switch between the two. The noise cancelling is very impressive and make these an all around great everyday pair of headphones.

LIFE SAVING for my noisy neighbors
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have suffered for years from the extremely loud bass music from my neighbors. These are the ONLY headphones that take away the noise. Literally life changing and worth every single penny I spent on them. My husband has the earbud version and has had the same experience. WORTH IT.
